I chopped the #5 Yesca x Jaro and the #2 Chocolate Blitz yesterday, flower day 67.
Yesca x Jaro #5:
I dunno how I forgot to take the stakes out before I took the “whole plant shot.” I wish I would’ve remembered to, though, because she did not flop at all, nothing like the #3 plant. I mean, there were a few floppers down near the bottom, but that happens all the time with a lot of stuff.
Here are some closeups:
The difference in both plant and flower morphology between the #3 and the #5 is pretty striking. The flowers on the #3 had very red, kind of “wiry” pistils that really stuck out. They weren’t “hairy” or anything (or I dunno, maybe they were haha), but they looked wayyyyy different than the pistils on the #5 plant. The #3’s flowers actually made me think of the ridiculous descriptions of Fire OG on, like, leafly and some of those other idiotic sites, where they said that Fire OG was named that because of the the “fire-red pistils” or whatever.
Anyway, here’s the #2 Chocolate Blitz pre- and post-stake removal:
Just a little floppy… haha.
So we’re down to just the Hashplant D and that freak Grapefruit f3, I’m gonna chop them both tomorrow morning.
Also, I trimmed and jarred that one Chocolate Trip-leaning Chocolate Blitz two days ago. There were a LOT of nanners on her, much more than I noticed while she was growing. I thought I was examining her pretty thoroughly, looked all over every time I watered and pretty much found the nanners only in the tops, but there were a decent amount on the lowers, too, that I didn’t notice until trimming. Which means that I also found some seeds. Only about a dozen so far, but I’m sure I’m gonna find a lot more once I start breaking up nugs and smoking her.
I also had to toss the two biggest colas because I found mold on them, which is a first for me, never gotten mold while drying, but that was totally my fault. During and for a few days after that storm we had last week (was that last week?), the humidity levels got reallllllyyyy high in the drying area, up into the low 70’s. I really couldn’t do anything about it, so… Yeah, when I started taking apart the two biggest colas, I found mold all on the inside, like on the stems and flowers. Bummer. I probably tossed a good half-ounce.
I will say that the tops of that one Chocolate Blitz are really, really tight, dense, rock-hard, however you wanna describe them. Maybe “airier” flowers would’ve made it through those four or five days of crazy-high humidity, but I’m not surprised that they got moldy.
So basically, I fucking hate that one Chocolate Blitz plant haha!
Anyway…
